Description
After N.C Wyeth
I start a new series of 10 images, in no real order this time. it is a question of drawing up each time a portrait of a woman, strong enough to affirm her identity in a world dominated by patriarchy. These women of different eras, origins, and different ages continue to fight for their visibility, despite prejudice. My list is not exhaustive, there is so much to say; likewise, the dominant male gaze remains on the lookout under the presence, in each image, of an invisible man, who retains a share of power. Finally, each painting chosen places this fight for better visibility for women in a history of art largely shaped by men.
Thank you for the view and your comments.

An older Cowboy lady is not often seen in movies, what a pity. Perhaps in future we will see her.

I conceived her more as a scholarly explorer who would have survived full dangers. to underline this, the invisible man is a variation of Indiana Jones. :)

Oh I see. The explorer type of older woman is not present in movies either, you made it the other way round, I like that.

Exploratrice, aventurière? Il y en a eu quelques unes assez célèbres en leur temps : gertrude Bell, Isabelle Eberhardt, Ella Maillart, Alexandra David-Néel...Plus assez connues de nos jours, certes!

Il ne faut en effet pas confondre invisibilité et inexistence !

I was somewhat familiar with images of the old American West by N.C Wyeth and was surprised at how many other kinds of things he painted (although this one, of a prospector, was the kind of thing I was familiar with). I like our mature woman explorer who is more visible than male; all we see of him is his Indiana Jones hat, bullwhip and the glasses. XD

It was a way of celebrating real female adventurers whose names have been remembered in history as opposed to fictional male heroes.
